Questions and Answers on the Seals

“In this hour,” of course, what they mean. Certainly, by all means. Don’t change a thing. If Jesus is coming in the morning, preach today like if it was going to be ten years from today, but live like it’s going to be at this hour. Don’t—don’t get scrupled up now. That’s what I’m trying to warn you about, see. Just do...

I don’t know. See? I—I…If I don’t know, I’m just going to tell you I don’t know. See? I—I don’t—I don’t know all the answers, folks. I—I don’t know. And if I don’t know, I’m going to tell you I don’t know. If I do know…I won’t tell you till I do know, see. But I—I don’t know. I’ve often wondered about that, myself. Th...

I—I don’t know. Yeah. He said, “Give them a new name.” I—I—I don’t know what that is, see. It’ll be probably made known when we get there, but I—I don’t know what it is now, see. See, He is going to do that. See? He give them a new name that—that they just knowed, themselves. See?

It says, “Important.” Well, that’s the reason…It wasn’t pertaining to this. As far as I can see, my brother, or sister, whoever it may be, there isn’t, unless your companion is dead. Because, the Bible said, “We’re bound to them as long as they live.” See? So, as—as far as being “any Scripture?” That’s what was asked...

It’s the Holy Spirit. See? We just got through that. Probably somebody, you know, come in a little late for the Message, they…well, for the other tapes, you see. “Hurt not the oil and the wine.” What does the oil and wine mean? The Oil, as we took it in symbol, means the Holy Spirit. See? Wine is the…and oil, is conne...

Sure, see, ’cause that’s where all redemption is wrote, in this Book. See? Their names were in…You say, “Well, our name is put the Lamb’s Book of Life, Brother Branham. I—I got it put on, the other night.” No, you didn’t. No, you didn’t. You just found out it was on there, the other night, that was…see, because their n...

There’s about three questions in one, there. But, here, first one: Is—is it true that every Jew born since Christ, that came into the world, is to be saved? No. Nothing will be saved, only those whose names were put on the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world, Jew or Gentile. See? That’s all. The Boo...

Now, if I could answer that correctly, I could tell you about Enoch, see. But I—I can’t do it, see. Only thing I know is, just, the Scripture says what it will be. And now it might be that the…Now, I—I’m kind of inclined…Now let me say it this way. And I hope the tape, the brethren on the tapes, will understand this. I...

Well, brother or sister, ever who wrote it, there—there was no change come about, see. It…And Peter done exactly what Jesus said do. Now, if somebody come and say, “Use the titles of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,” they did what Peter said not do, but what God said not do. See? Now, Jesus said that… We’ll just—just take...

But, look. When God puts a name on the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world, there’s not nothing in the world can rub it out, because it’s wrote with the ink of the Blood of Christ. Be it this big, that big, or that big, or whatever it might be, it goes just the same. See? All children, all the Church...

No. Hell, translation in the Bible, I believe…Now, there is scholars sitting here, and I want to honor that. Our Brother Iverson sitting here, and Brother Vayle, and many of these brethren who are really theologians. The word translated, hades, means the “grave.” Is that right? The Greek word for the grave. But the Lak...

No, sir. No, sir. Anything that was created is not Eternal. No. Anything that’s created…That’s the reason there cannot be an Eternal hell. If anybody ever tells you that you’re going to burn in an Eternal hell, I want the Scripture for it. See? There’s no such a thing as that. Hell was created for the devil and his an...

Yes. That’s right. That does. That’s easy. That does. That’s the man of sin. The same man just keeps, in stages, riding on till he gets on a pale horse that’s called “Death.” Christ comes on down through, justification, sanctification, to the white horse, and that’s that Life, you see.

Well, I think we explained that, a while ago. See? They go into the Tribulation. They are martyred in the Tribulation. Come up in the last, after the Millennium, for their judgment. See? Because, the Bible said that the rest of the living…“The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years was expired.” Then there...

No. He isn’t the same. See, it’s two different men. The Elisha that come in the form of Elijah was not Elijah. And the spirit of Elijah who came upon a man called John the Baptist was not Elijah. And the man of the seventh angel messenger, at the end of the Laodicean Age, will not be the literal Elijah. He’ll be a Gent...

One half of it was confirmed, the covenant, when Jesus Christ was on earth preaching to the Jews. He never went to the Gentiles, at all. And He told His disciples, “Don’t go to the Gentiles.” That was to the Jews, alone. See? And He preached for three and a half years. That’s half of the seventieth week, now, as Daniel...

Yes, sir! See? Now, here, now see, I don’t want to get started on it, ’cause I get a se-…preach a sermon on it, see. But I won’t do that. But I want to show you. When God gave Adam his bride, from his side, he said, “She is flesh of my flesh, and bone of my bone.” Is that right? When God gave Christ His Bride, the Spi...

Sure. That’s what’s going on right now, see, the Bride of Christ. Certainly. It is the Message of the hour, see, the Bride of Christ. Sure. She is consist of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors. Is that right? That’s the Bride of Christ. Sure. She’s got a ministry, great ministry, the ministry of the...

No. Revelation 6…5:9, rather. No. If you notice, these are not the saints. They had…He has never claimed His property yet. See? This is not the saints. If you notice, they’re the elders and the Beasts, and they sing. Let’s read it, so that person…And then I’m going to try…I’ve got about half a dozen more here, and I t...

Now let’s see, Revelation 6. I just can’t hurry on this, folks, like this here, see, because it’s going…I’m going to answer something wrong. Now, He didn’t want—He didn’t want me to do that. That’s the truth, so help me. The Holy Spirit of God knows that’s the truth. See? I just…There is something just…I—I just looked...

No. The—the Gentile that’ll be anointed with this spirit, to call out the Gentiles, will be taken away. Cause, you see, the whole Church, all, has been taken up. And these two prophets, of—of the 11th chapter, is brought down. And the day of grace is ended with the Gentile, and been sent to the Jews. No, it won’t be th...

I guess that’s meaning “the wheat and the wine.” That was one, to the other. Rather, is a symbol, the wine taken at the communion table, of Rev-…of First Corinthians 11:24? “Does the wine—the wine…?” No. One of them is a spiritual symbol, see. And the other one is actually the—the revelation of the Word.

Now, let’s see. Let me just see if I can get that now. It’s not you; it’s me. You didn’t…You wrote it all right; it’s just me. Could it be that the reason many are sick, because we do not discern the Lord’s Body? (That’s got a question mark, the end of that.) Well, the Scripture says, that, “Many are sick and weakly a...

Let’s see. “If one in the association organization is…?” Well, see, the association organization; the—the organization, it’s given rights by the government, to speak. See, that don’t have anything to do with his heart. See? Now, if he is a real believer, and born of the Spirit of God, sometime or other he is going to b...

Yes, that’s right. He would be a…Yeah, he just slipped in. See? Now look. Now, I…It could take a whole sermon on that. Now I got ten minutes, to pray for the sick and finish this up. And I’ve got one half of them done, I guess. Notice. But I’m—I’m going to hurry, right, sure enough, after this one. See? Here is what h...

Yes. The Elijah of Malachi 4 will not be the Elijah of Malachi 3. We went through that, last night. “And is the other witness separate, two of them?” Yes, sir, Moses and Elijah; to our revelation. Now, I don’t want to hold you here too long.

No. No. He will be a Gentile, see, to the Gentile Church. God sends, always, to his own people, see. “He came to His Own; His Own received Him not.” He always sends His, the Message of the hour. When God was dealing with the Jews, there wasn’t any Gentile prophets come. When God is dealing with the Gentiles, there is...

No. Huh-uh. Cause, the Blood has done left. You see, there be no intercession. The Gentile age is finished. There’ll be no one saved after the Rapture, or none of the church, huh-uh, the church. “Let him that’s filthy, be filthy still; him that’s holy, be holy still.” See? That won’t take place, see, not after the Chur...

Well, this is a long one, and I—I’ll just have to hit the spot of it, see. Now, the first thing, “Will…?” Now, maybe I can’t explain it. I’ll do my best. Will you please explain how Satan is bound a thousand years, being loosed again for the battle of Revelation 20:8? That is not the Battle of Armageddon. The Battle o...

Take Schmucker’s Glorious Reformation. I guess some of these scholars have that. And it’s the history of the church. And I forget now just what page it’s on, but it taken place from the time of the—the…the thing was produced, or given to the church, by Saint Augustine of Hippo, Africa. That was A.D. 354. And it lasted...

It was seven thousand. See? And that, “kissing Baal,” don’t you know…How many here was formerly Catholic? Sure. See? You kiss images. See? And, remember, in the time of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar, when the Gentile kingdom was issued in, see; when Gentile kingdom issued in, it come in by the worship of a man. Nebuchadn...

I hope not. No. No. Friends, don’t get that in your mind now, see. You just go right on. Dig the potatoes, and go to church, and right on. If it takes place in the morning, you be found doing just exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. Don’t—don’t start… See, when you do, you twist the very thing away from the—the...

After! “The rest of the dead lived not for a thousand years,” that didn’t go with the Bride. Let’s see:

Yes. Revelation 16, you’ll find it, and Revelation 18:8 and 12. If the person is here, wants to take this piece of paper, on that, you can look it right up. Yeah. See, “Alas, alas, that great city! For in one hour she has come to her end.” You see, the merchants, and everything else, that brought her merchandise. It wi...

It will be the last three and a half years. That’s right. Not the first, ’cause it’s already passed. Got one more after this one:

Well, I wouldn’t exactly say that he would, that he would go to the wilderness. But he’ll be this, you see, he was…Elisha and Elijah, did you notice? Most men like that are men who are away; they, they keep away from the people. They’re very odd. They don’t associate too much with people. You notice how Elisha was, an...
